When something’s right, it’s almost perfect. Which rings true in the case of Tod’s recent collaboration with famed tattoo artist Saira Hunjan for the Tod’s Tattoo collection that’s already in stores. Featuring an ancient motif of enveloping lions that’s engraved on leather, the collection encompasses both handbags and footwear in a line-up that’s suited for both men and women.

There’s the Double Tattoo-Inspired Messenger (SGD3060), a 41 cm by 31 cm shoulder sling with a generous flap that comes silkscreened with the ancient motif. And then there are the shoes that I love, from the Gomminodriving shoes (SGD870) to the slip-ons (SGD850) and the sneakers with fancy laces (SGD870) that all come with the same beautiful print. What’s even more interesting is the fact that on the driving shoes, the design is not only on the front but also extends to the bottom of the shoe, making for a visually stunning piece that’s big on both form and function since we already know how comfortable Tod’s shoes are to begin with.

In other words, if you’ve always wanted a tattoo (like me) but have been too chicken to actually get one (like me), this collection could be for you. You’ll just have to head down to Tod’s Marina Bay Sands or Paragon soon because everything is strictly limited edition with finite quantities available.

Tod’s are doing their best to deliver experience to the world of fashion that are unforgettable. Just recently, they have added a lot of charm in designing their Signature Collection. A series of fine shoulders bags and a few impressive totes have the store, all crafted from exquisite soft leather, worked with distinguishing three-dimensional pebble-effect texture and a classic magnetic button fastening embellished with a shiny metal buckle. These colors are timeless, light enough to flaunt during the spring summer and dark enough to use in the fall and winter. Take the Tod’s Signature Shoulder Bag for example, it has absolutely no intention to scream for attention, it just says: ‘made by traditional Italian craftsmanship’. Then we have Tod’s Signature Bucket Bags, it’s not the kind-of bucket that you might have in your mind, its functional tote, refined with exquisite perforated leather and pebble texture. It’s embellished with velvety nubuck side panels and it comes with twin feminine handles. It also comes with a removable purse crafted in the leather. The Tod’s signature shoulder bags are available in two sizes, the ‘mini’, ‘micro’ and small. The mini is measured 24,5 x 13 x 4,5 cm and priced at £745 GBP. The Micro is measured 18 x 13 x 5 cm and priced at £660 GBP and the small is a bit taller, measuring 25,5 x 19 x 6 cm and priced at £835 GBP. As for the final, the Tod’s signature bucket bags are priced from £1,050 to £ 1,300 GBP, the maxi size is measured 38 x 38 x 18 cm, just the same like you see the model toting on the picture below. At Tods e-store.

You think you’ve seen it all and then something comes along that changes your mind. Which is exactly how I’m feeling regarding Tod’s S/S15 slip-ons for women that just landed in my inbox. And while I wouldn’t go as far as calling them revolutionary, there’s something familiar, yet fresh about them all at once.

An elevated, even elegant update on the skate shoe that’s all the rage now, Tod’s went one up and did some creative embellishments of their own, from the weaved jute rope trim (or that’s what I think it is) that’s a nod to espadrilles, as well as the addition of a leather tongue that would surely add to the comfort of the shoe. Then again, it’s Tod’s, and as far as comfort goes, I wouldn’t expect anything less.

Another piece of good news? They aren’t as pricey as you think they might be. The pair on the left with the denim finish will set you back by just SGD590, the pair on the right that comes in white leather and the sliver of silver (always wanted to say that in a sentence), SGD670. Which really isn’t so bad for shoes that can worn dressed-up or down, for work or play.

Available in other colour combinations as well (there’s one in beige leather and a splash of gold that’s also rather divine), I’ll end the post with some bad news. Boys, no luck on these for us, because they are strictly for the ladies. Unless you have really tiny feet, of course.

TOD’S Band and some of their models or actors or photographers, their professional sorts, but there is one thing in common they are all full of personality, passion for fashion. They common interpretation of wave doctrine. Cora Corre the also joined the TOD’S Band, although she was only 18 years old this year, but since she entered the modeling industry is very much concerned. Her interpretation of fashion is unique.

Short of calling them the most comfortable pair of loafers ever made, the Gommino Driving Shoes from Tod’s are wardrobe stables no woman (or man) should do without. And it’s not even about being fashionably-forward; these loafers have become as commonplace as say, flip-flops in our island city-state, a nod to stylish footwear that’s also easy on the feet.

More reasons to get a pair (or two) for yourself? Available in almost every colour you can imagine under the rainbow in leathers like patent leather, pebbled calf and suede, there’s really no reason not to, especially with the end-of-season sale now on at Tod’s that would make these babies even more affordable.

If you’re wondering why these particular ones have the words hexagonal studs in its name, well, here you go. Each adorned with its own hexagonal studs metal brooch that looks like an oversized safety pin, it’s just the right amount of gold to give your pair of loafers that extra bling.

And while you’re picking yourself a pair, you could get something matching for your man, and if you’re all superstitious about that whole thing regarding giving loved ones shoes (because they would run away), do what I do and make the recipient give you like 2 bucks. Works like a charm.
